No mabe 5% less range in reality
If 2 motors do the work In stead of 1 there only doing 1/2 each so use 1/2 the watts each
Unless thay both go at full power then that would do it in 1/2 the time

Yes a DieBieMS talks to a VESC over Can bus. VESC talks to a MetroPro over UTAR and the MetroPro talks to a phone app over Bluetooth lets you see the cell voltage from a DieBieMS
Just installed one mine looks like this need to cycle it to sort out the %

Not about part performance. Availability, customer support, business reputation. They all factor in to purchasing decisions
@MysticalDork i have a slight doubt,
i bought this as flux. Does this work for our usage in the esk8 world?

Is it normal that my master side accelerate the motor more than the slave side? (using 2 focbox) and a Flipsky Vx1, the master side always seems to get more power. I know itās not a belt tension problem as both belt tension feels similar, and when I tried to use the cruise control unloaded, one side just stopped slowly while my master side kept on going.
Iām sticking with it depends 
^^ pretty good write up about different options and types of wear and failure for various gear types
Personally I just think that using gear drives leaves you very little wiggle room for if things shift ever so slightly and I just donāt see the big benefit over a belt drive (aside from the oooh ahhh that looks cool factor)

Are both programmed with the same settings? Maybe one has a loose power connection; sounds very odd, thatās not right.
Continuing the drama, i managed to update the FW and the red light is actually off! But that side doesnāt do motor detection anymore, what is up with that?
I guess they are? When I programmed them I just plugged the USB in one as the other must have got the data over the canbus?
I made a video here. I donāt know if this is ānormalā? I accelerated a bit at the beginning, both were turning, then I only push the trigger forward just a little, the master side turns, and then I tried cruise control, where the slave side would gradually loose speed for some reason.
I notice a big jolt like jump when accelerating to a certain point.
So the acceleration curve is really smooth until it hits a certain duty cycle, once it hits that point the speed goes up significantly. Like shifting gears.

Sensor erpm cut off?

Thatā¦could be possible? Iām running sensored hybrid so that fits. Not quite sure what my cutoff is. Iāll have a look.
Is the jump at a certain speed or certain point on the throttle?
I think sensor can have a lower ramp up speed so itāll dump more power after a certain speed if you have it configured like that
Might also be the erpm throttle point, if you have that set low itāll have a relatively weak top end
Havenāt measured the speed but itās around half the throttle. 20kmh+ minimum iād say.
Ah, with the new vesc tool that might be true. I would still double check just to be sure ā plug USB cable in, and use the vesc tool to read the set config.
Another guess would be that 1 belt is tighter than the other, which is why it requires more power to spin that wheel up, but that doesnāt explain it coming to a stop in cruise control.

So far as I know flux itself wonāt have lead in it or be āleadedā. Solder is broadly āleadedā or āunleadedā meaning it either has lead in it or it is just tin and other metals that make up the alloy but is ālead freeā. For products to be RoHS compliant pretty sure they must be lead free. Adding lead to the solder metal lowers the melting point so it makes it easier to flow under temp but more malleable overall. The different mixes are labelled as 60/40 or 70/30 or 63/37 to indicate the mix of tin to lead in the solder. Personally use ārosin coreā, leaded, solder, the rosin core is basically flux built into the solder and doesnāt normally require additional flux (still good to have a flux pen I think since easy to dab it on spots to help things flow when being a pain). More detailed answer here:
Believe in the link you had to flux it was just saying the flux can work with leaded or unleaded solders.
Flux in general helps by keeping the surface of the metal clean of an oxide layer that would stop the metal from flowing.

Would this technically be correct? ( connecting 2x 6s lipos in series to a BMS) Layout is not in a particular order right now.
